S2B Methodology

Borrowing the idea from the Olympic anthropologist John MacAloon, Sport its self is not good or bad, it is just an empty and neutral box to be filled in and a tool to be used with values, ideas, meaning, dependent on the cultural context in which takes place and people who take part. The effectiveness of sport entirely depends upon the manner in which sport is used.
